I am not sure if this is shounen, but if it's serialized in a shounen manga, I guess we can put it that way~
. . . it just occurred to me what this reminds me of, in a way: Howl's Moving Castle. Not the story or the castle, but the look and feel of the towns and shops the main character lives in before she finds the castle.
Anyway, I'm in agreement with PLG. The main heroine is a very innocent and pure-hearted girl, a fitting foil for the male lead whom is rather cynical and conscious of his surroundings. However, for those of you looking for romance, I will have to say that this isn't that kind of story. The relationship between the two main characters is more akin to that of a familial bond that nurtures their growth, expanding their perspective of the world and themselves.
I would also like to mention that the girl is fairly young (being fourteen by Western standards) and it can be assumed that the male main character is around in his late teens or early twenties.
I wholly recommend this series. It is quite an enjoyable read.
You just want to comfort her and take care of her and pat her and squish her and suddenly realize she's not actually a little girl . . . ahem.
